Open Letter

Mr. Achenbach,

I just read with interest your article on "Why Science is So Hard to Believe"
from the Washington Post, which was sent to me by a friend who works
for the National Science Teachers Association. The comments were
closed. I thought I'd send my comments directly to you since I couldn't
comment on the article online. I very much appreciate your
perspective, but one reason why science is so hard to believe is all the
unscientific propaganda that is passed off as science - particularly
Darwinism.

The so called "Evolutionists" have had a grip on
science since the early 1900s, and better theories have not received the
proper attention. We know from information science, probability, and
micro-biology that the incredible design inside a cell defies
self-created order through random chance. Darwin couldn't see inside a
cell, but if he had been able to see all the machinery, I doubt he would
have proposed his theory. However, the (neo) Darwinists still promote a fairy tale that the pixie dust of "billions of years" and complete
random chance of "natural selection" explain what we see as "apparent" design today. Nonsense. Go here for details:

Intelligent
Design (ID) Theory is maligned as some sort of "God of the gaps"
argument from creative Creationists. That simply isn't true. It is a lame guilt-by-association ploy by Darwinists who are loathe to give up
their broken theory for something with better explanatory power, usually because giving up Darwinism would prevent them from being intellectually fulfilled atheists as Richard Dawkins said in his book The Blind Watchmaker (p. 6).

As
we've seen with other scientific paradigm shifts, the old guard needs to
die off in order for the new and better science to replace it. In the
mean time, we're left with lousy science posing as truth. I guess in
that sense the Darwinists are right that survival of the fittest (idea)
will eventually prevail, but their grip on the power structures and
political positions in the scientific community is harming overall
scientific progress. The division over Darwinism vs. ID is just as bad
as the controversy in climate science and just as harmful to real scientific inquiry. Rather than let the best ideas surface,
the Darwinists file law suits trying to keep ID out of schools. What
are they so scared of?
